So within a couple days I plan to buy all the necessary hardware to start a mining rig. My plan was to mine vertcoin, I liked the idea of vertcoin because its scrypt n which is asic proof. But now I am hearing vertcoin has already had its go and it isn't something I should mine for.


So to all you knowledgeable people out there, what currency should I mine for the long term.

In all seriousness, its not too late to start and get profit? The way I see it is there are scrypt asic miners out there. So in a short time GPU mining will be worthless. Am I wrong to think this?

I think with any rig, if your aim is to be profitable, you are going to have to switch the coin(s) you mine on a regular basis as the market changes.  GPU mining won't "go away" for a long time, due to other ASIC resistant algos like scrypt-n.  If you are looking for really quick (1-6 months) ROI, you are probably looking in the wrong place, but I think GPU mining still has profitability left in it for those that are patient and diligent.

Option 1: Pick any algo/buy/mine any coin that has a decent dev team and hold long term, something that brings something new to the game #profit

Option 2: pick any algo/buy/mine the shit out of any that you think the lemmings will buy because people post shit on internet forums and create buzz #profit

option 2 is the best atm because once money gets involved it is a whole new game

Rinse and repeat?

I'd agree, mining x11 with Nvidia 750Ti's is a good bet for a GPU starting out right now. The 750Tis are just nice cards to mine with considering their low power and heat.

You'll still be chasing the elusive ROI dragon, though.

Yep, a 750 Ti rig is a good idea. It's not so expensive, it's quiet, it uses a small PSU and it's not hot at all.

Would you share what speed gives this platform and how consumption of electricity.
Thanks for your time

So to all you knowledgeable people out there, what currency should I mine for the long term.

If you want to mine something and make a lot of profit, you have to speculate on a coin that has little value right now. As an example, MINT is at 5 satoshi. An increase to just 10 would be 2x the profit. Is it worth mining NOW? No. But if you're a speculative miner, it might be.

There are tons of coins like this.

ASIC scrypt miner would be ideal. But if you have your heart intent on gpu mining, I would recommend the NVidia GTX 750TI.

Maybe go to coinwarz or whatmine.com? They give you a list of all the profitable coins if your intent is to sell within a day or two. If you want to be a speculative miner,then the comments already posted may help more.

Thank you.

i can answer your questions anyway

speed is 2.2 MH/s per gpu for x11 with a little OC

750ti can't mine x13 for the moment

consumption is around 320w mining x11 with 6 x 750ti

jackpotcoin give you  0.025 with a 6 x 750ti rig

wincoin give you 0.015 with 6 x 750ti rig

other x11 will give you at least 0.01

scrypt should be around 450w, but scrypt is dead for gpu so who care...

Great information, thanks again.
This will be my next configuration.
Last question ... if you can work with optimized miner for x-11?

With the latest x11 ccminer for Nvidia, the 750ti can do 2.8 mh/s...

Is Jackpotcoin really that profitable at the moment?

And if it matters from the manufacturer? Which manufacturer is preferable?

that version the 2.8MH one, isn't out yet

yeah jackpot give you about 0.025, one rig does 24MH/s there = 150k per day at 15 satoshi = 0.0225 now

Cool, guess I can try that out. How's the power efficiency of it compared to X11 and others?
